EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - "The North Coast of Africa" from a nautical atlas dating back to 1651. Created by the talented Pietro Giovanni Prunes, this ink on vellum artwork is now housed in the prestigious Museo Correr in Venice, Italy. The intricate detail captured in this particular section of the atlas transports us to an era long gone. The image reveals a vibrant scene with various elements that define the North African landscape. Majestic camels gracefully traverse the sandy terrain, while a powerful lion stands tall and proud amidst lush palm trees. In the distance, we catch glimpses of bustling cities along the Mediterranean Sea coastline. What truly sets this artwork apart is its inclusion of navigational tools such as compasses and charts, highlighting its significance for sailors and explorers during that time period.
